[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1832641, member: 396914"] @ken, Carbon Copy Cloner is another clone program. Works well. Supports Catalina. Yes, the backup program must be 64-bit to run under Catalina (to do the restore). TM should work. If you download Catalina today, you should be getting the latest version. One thing about Catalina. It changes the way the system and user data is stored on the HD/SSD. Using the new APFS, it creates a container for the drive, then two Volumes in that container, one for the OS itself and one for the User data. The OS volume is read-only, as a security measure. CCC takes that all into account as it clones, and SD! should do the same, but I don't use SD!, so I can't say for sure. And Catalina deals with the two volumes as if they were one in operations, so you shouldn't have to deal with them as separate, but if you get into Disk Utility you can see both. [/QUOTE]
